Magical Books

More than six thousand books have been written in English on the subject of magic. Unfortunately, most of them fall into one of two categories: fantasy meant to entertain, or descriptions of clever tricks meant to impress. Neither speaks to real magic—the kind that quietly shapes lives and expands awareness.

A book truly worth the time it takes to read, study, and practice must come from lived experience. Its author must have personally encountered the reality of spiritual magic and written not to dazzle or profit, but to illuminate and empower others. Words chosen from that place carry a different weight. They don’t merely describe ideas; they transmit understanding.

Below are a few books I believe meet these standards. Each was written by someone who has lived the magic they describe, and who offers insights capable of supporting your growth in this hidden—yet ever‑present and essential—dimension of life.

Below are a few books I believe meet the above criteria, written by those who have lived the magic they describe, thus enabling them to write Truths that can support your growth in this hidden -- but ever-present and essential -- part of life.

I expected quick answers—yes or no. After all, words like magic and belief are familiar to everyone. Instead, most people froze in silence, confusion written plainly on their faces. Some quietly backed away without a word. A few hesitated, then asked softly, “What kind of magic? You mean like card tricks?”

That reaction says more than it seems.

I don’t mean tricks of any kind. I mean real magic—spiritual magic. The kind that arises when consciousness and the world around it are no longer treated as separate. Most people move through life believing their minds end at their skin, able to influence only what they can physically touch. They remain unaware that far richer forms of interaction with the universe are available—forms that operate through attention, intention, and awareness rather than force.

Wanting to help others glimpse what is possible, I wrote the free ebook A Lifetime Of Magic. It shares more than fifty experiences from my own life—events that repeatedly demonstrated to me that magic is not imaginary, symbolic, or rare. It is real, responsive, and accessible. And what has been true for me can be true for you as well.

One book I believe nearly everyone can benefit from is The Secret. After discovering firsthand how real magic can be, Byrne traveled across the United States seeking teachers who understood these principles and were willing to share them for the benefit of others. She found more than twenty such individuals and gathered their insights into a single volume.

The result is a collection of practical wisdom expressed in clear, approachable language. Oprah Winfrey recognized its impact and devoted two full television programs to sharing it with her audience. Since then, The Secret has become an international bestseller, translated into many languages so people everywhere can explore its ideas.

For those just beginning to question the limits they’ve been taught, it offers an accessible and encouraging place to start.

Throughout history, people have reported experiences in which consciousness seems to separate from the physical body—what we now call Out of Body Experiences, or OBEs. In recent decades, researchers such as Robert Monroe have brought these experiences into the realm of systematic study, exploring them with both curiosity and discipline.

Many people recall spontaneous OBEs, especially from early childhood. They are also commonly reported during near‑death experiences and are often described as peaceful, expansive, and profoundly beautiful.

One of the most practical guides on this subject is a comprehensive manual that not only explores the author’s personal development with OBEs, but also provides structured exercises at the end of each chapter. These exercises gently guide the reader from one stage of experience to the next.

From the first tentative sensations of separation—sometimes awkward, sometimes exhilarating—to journeys through unfamiliar realms and encounters with unexpected forms of awareness, this work demonstrates that OBEs are not reserved for a gifted few. They are a natural capacity of consciousness, accessible to anyone willing to approach the experience with patience, respect, and courage.
